Well...I can't be upset at Arum FOR CRAWFORD! He is staying with Top Rank, Good Luck to him! He can still build himself a excellent Legacy by beating on Mean Machine again, and then eventually Ramirez or Taylor I guess. If that is what he wants then so be it! If he stays with Arum and "Work Things Out" then I have to agree with Spence Jr recently comment, stop mentioning him! ESPN, Arum, Crawford all just need to move on and stop mentioning Spence Jr and trying to bash him on Air. PBC neither on Fox or Showtime, bash Bud Crawford in anyway but ESPN take shots at Spence Jr and pushing the Narrative that He Is Ducking to build up Crawford and it is so unnecessary

Crawford is a very likable and good natured man but respectfully there is nothing to workout between him and Bob Arum.
There was no future resigning with Top Rank anyway if he wants to fight all the other top welterweights in his division. PBC/Showtime is the most viable option for him now.
Sadly, Arum knows this and has already anticipated Crawford leaving for his top nemesis, Al Haymon and company and has chosen to fire the first shots at Crawford.Comment

Last time he signed I think Pacquaio was still w TR, so on some level the re-up made sense.Originally posted by Madison boxing View Post
If he does resigns again this time it’s insanity on his part.Comment

Terrance Crawford is getting a bad rap by some fans, for no good reason. This guy can box with the best of them, punch with authority, can take a solid shot, and most importantly he can make adjustments during his fights. He is a closer, and a fantastic finisher, he's done everything he's had to do in the ring. With an undefeated of record of 37-0 (28 KO's), he's the best pound for pound boxer in boxing, as far as I'm concerned. If Bob Arum can't guarantee him Fights against the upper echelon of boxing like Errol Spence, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Yordanis Ugas Manny Pacquiao, or Keith Thurman, then he does need to shop around for a promoter who can. Crawford is 33 years old he's got to fight the best now, before he gets much older. His record speaks for itself 13 of his last 15 opponents had ratings of 4-5 stars on this Boxingscene platform. If they match him up with any of those 6 fighters mentioned, he's got an even chance of beating any of them. So whats the hold up, its not up to the fighter to promote a fight, that's the promoters job. The titles are self explanatory, fighters fight, and promoters promote.Comment

Bob Arum was wrong to say the things he did, and the way he said it about the house in Beverly Hills...
Crawford comes across as a more mature individual regardless whether it's true or not that Top Rank is losing money on his fights.
Admirable in our day in age to see Crawford being so reserved and self-restrained. Real man.Comment

Tell me, when was the last time you saw another WW, of any level attend a T Crawford fight, ask him directly for a shot at his title????? NEVER EVER happened and NEVER WILL.... TC can't make these other PBC WW clowns fight.... end of debate!!!Originally posted by Madison boxing View PostComment

I can't imagine that Bob is truly losing any money, he's essentially double-dipping from the in house matchups. Plus he's receiving some of the ESPN money. He probably just felt some type of way about Crawford threatening him with his lawyers while being one of his only two real stars right now.Comment

Hats off! He chose to be the adult in the room. Can't say I'd have the ability to show such restraint.
That said, no multi-fight deals.Comment

at this point Crawford is the Stephen character from Djando..
this is the most cringey "yes massah" moment in recent years.
Arum just took a piss on him and Bud not only took it but now he's zipping up Arum's pants.
wtf Bud

He should stop bending over for Bob and join PBC. Sure he’d make better money fighting the bigger names of WW.Comment
